Taken directly from my statutory warning card (Miranda warning)
1. You may remain silent and not make any statement at all.
2. Any statement you make may be used in evidence against you.
3. You have the right to have an attorney present to advise you either prior to any questioning or during any questioning.
4. If you are unable to employ an attorney you have the right to have an attorney appointed to counsel with you prior to or during any interviews with peace officers or attorneys representing the state.
5. You have the right to terminate the interview at any time.
6. If you are fifteen (15) years of age or older at the time of the violation of law of the grade of felony the juvenile court may waive its jurisdiction and you may be tried as an adult.
#6 is, of course, only applicable for juvenile offenders under 17.

It was a holding in Miranda v. Arizona, later expanded in Escobedo v. Illinois and Rhode Island v. Innis.
The posters above have quoted the most common formulaic versions of the Miranda warning. The court actually said that as long as those concepts are clearly expressed, a suspect has been notified of their rights, regardless of the specific words used. Law enforcement officers simply like the formulaic versions, because it is a known working phrasing, which gives them a bright line to work with.
The so-called Miranda warning is half of the process. Once a suspect has been warned, they must still waive those rights before their statements may be use. Such waivers must be knowing, intelligent and voluntary, made without coercion or duress. If a person asserts their rights, rather than waiving them, then questioning must top.
Details available in Crim Pro II.
